Ken Meades, a talented public speaker who invented a valuable asset that aided the U.S. Marines in their victory in the Desert War, has completed his new book "The Better Hole": a gripping and potent memoir that shares the unique perspective of a man who has lived a fascinating life.
Author Ken Meades discusses his work, writing, "No, I didn't find a cure for cancer or become a billionaire, but I was able to shake off a working-poor background and grow a small company into a modestly successful one. I left England with no education (the German Blitz took care of that), no talent as far as I knew, and no money. But I had three assets. I had hope, ambition, and the beginnings of a loving and caring family."
He continues, "Through the years, this book became a love story. I was devoted to my wife, Pauline, who suffered long bouts of depression; yet she wove the very fabric of our life together. When she died at age eighty-four, it ended a love affair that lasted seventy years. In among the sometimes comedic stories, there runs a thread of sadness."
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Ken Meades's impactful memoir takes readers through the author's fascinating ninety years of life so far.
Readers who wish to experience this original work can purchase "The Better Hole" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.
